Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Behind the Frontlines” by Johnathan Rice
“Behind the Frontlines” by Jonathan Rice tells the story of a couple whose relationship has entered a war-like state. The singer is stuck in the “trenches” of a turbulent, never-ending battle, and feels like he’s dying from lack of attention from his partner. He is determined to break through the enemy lines to try and salvage the relationship, but is wary of the costs it may take—braving the pain, confusion and the unknown. He begs his partner to open her heart and try to fight together, and paints a romantic image of the two of them using the moon light to help ignite the spark. Despite the odds against them, he promises to stand by her side through thick and thin– regardless of where the war takes them.
